Making Love????

[tohaveornottohave]

I've namechanged for this...

How often do you and DH/DP make love? DH and i can go weeks. We have small children/babies so very tired but feel we should be making more of an effort. Just anted to know if this is the norm for parents with small children.

Been together for 8yrs, happily married 5.

we don't, we fuck

We shag in our house

Quite often atm

All down to pregnancy hormones, I suspect

i prefer rodgering, a right seeing to or a good old fashioned shag to 'making love' any day.

I thought this was going to be along the lines of 'My DH referred to it as such, and my skin is still crawling'.

Of course it's normal for parents with a young family - try going to bed a hour earlier once a week if you feel like making an effort but as long as neither of you are really unhappy with the lack of frequency, don't beat yourselves up about it - it comes back eventually.
Any grandparents etc. that you can offload the kids onto for an overnight / weekend stay?

As long as you don't let the intimacy and physical contact slide, things will be fine.

Five times a night and six at the weekends.

i rewrote my shag, fuck name loads before posting and figured makelove was abit less invasive and offensive

Arrr well fuck it is.

Malificence thankyou for your response. I just don't want us not havingit to become a habit iyswim.

If there is a phrase more likely to make me cross my legs that "Let's make love" I am yet to discover it.

urrgh - can you imagine a man saying to you while you were doing it? "I'm making love to you baby"

I agree that this can be quite normal in long term relationships or where young families are concerned. It is not nec the end of the world. I would be concered though if this was some kind of taboo subject between you and your DH because then if this proceeds beyond "normal" (whatever that is) it will make dealing with it very difficult.
